Standard Deviation: N/A Coefficient Correlation= 0.3431261 Minimum: The minimum number means it is the lowest number possible to be used in a set of data. In this case, 0 is the minimum number used for this set of data about Homosexuals and Feminists. First Quartile: The first quartile is the place when a set of numbers is the value in which 25% of the numbers are below it, and and 75% of the numbers are above it. In the case for Gays and Homosexuals, 40.0 is the first quartile, which means 25% of the numbers are below 40.0 and 75% are above 40.0. For Feminists, 50.0 is the first quartile, therefore placing 25% of the numbers below 50.0 and 75% of them above 50.0. Median: The median is the middle value of a set of numbers, or in this case, a set of data. In both cases, the middle value of the set of numbers from 1-100 was 50. Mean: The mean is the average of all the numbers cotained in the data. For the case for gays and homosexuals, the average is 49.74. The feminists contain a mean or average of 58.02. Third Quartile: The third quartile is the place where a set of numbers is the value in which 75% of the numbers are below it, and 25% of the numbers are above it. In the case for Gays and Homosexuals, 70.0 is the third quartile, which means 75% of the numbers are below 70.0 and 25% of the numbers are above 70.0. For feminists, the third quartile is is also 70.0. Maximum: The maximum is the highest number being used or observed in a set of data. In this case, 100 is the maximum number. Not Available (N/A): This means answer was not given or available, so more people did not answer about their feelling towards feminists than they did with gays or homosexuals.
BoxPlot for Gays AND BoxPlot for Feminists:
Boxplots: A box plot is a convenient graph used to depict data using it's five ratios, the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and the maximum. These box plots display all five ratios for the gays and lesbians and feminists. These graphs are more commonly called box and whisker plots because they consist of a box, which holds the median and first and third quartile, and the whiskers contain the minimum and maximum values.
Violin Plot for Gays and Lesbians AND Violin Plot for Feminists: Violin Plots: Violin Plots help us visualize the density of the data collected. Theses violin plots show the opinions of those on how they feel about Gays and Feminists. Violin plots are a combination of box and whisker plots with density plot charts.
Scatter Plot for the Feelings towards Gays or Lesbians and Feminists: Scatter Plots: A scatter plot takes two or more variables, and compares them in one graph or correlation. In this case, the gays and feminists are compared by the increase of the feelings toward them by people. Alongside the scatterplot, the box plots are also present to help the visualize the differences between the two variables by defining each of their medians and quartiles. Scatter plots also display whether there is a positive or negative correlation between the two variables.
Histogram for Gays and Lesbians AND Histogram for Feminists: Histograms: Histograms are used to present frequency distributions between variables. For the gays and feminists, the frequency between the feelings toward each group and how they felt about is displayed.
Density Plot for Gays and Lesbians AND Density Plot for Feminists: Kernel Density Plots: Kernel density plots are used to be an estimate density of a set of variables or data given.
Overall great job. Were you able to calculate the correlation coefficient? I don't see it. Other than that, this is very thorough and you're doing very good work. I will be very interested to see what you're able to put together at the end of the semester when you really have a full toolbox for analyzing all of this data!

Coefficient Correlation= 0.3431261
Minimum: The minimum number means it is the lowest number possible to be used in a set of data. In this case, 0 is the minimum number used for this set of data about Homosexuals and Feminists.
First Quartile: The first quartile is the place when a set of numbers is the value in which 25% of the numbers are below it, and and 75% of the numbers are above it. In the case for Gays and Homosexuals, 40.0 is the first quartile, which means 25% of the numbers are below 40.0 and 75% are above 40.0. For Feminists, 50.0 is the first quartile, therefore placing 25% of the numbers below 50.0 and 75% of them above 50.0.
Median: The median is the middle value of a set of numbers, or in this case, a set of data. In both cases, the middle value of the set of numbers from 1-100 was 50.
Mean: The mean is the average of all the numbers cotained in the data. For the case for gays and homosexuals, the average is 49.74. The feminists contain a mean or average of 58.02.
Third Quartile: The third quartile is the place where a set of numbers is the value in which 75% of the numbers are below it, and 25% of the numbers are above it. In the case for Gays and Homosexuals, 70.0 is the third quartile, which means 75% of the numbers are below 70.0 and 25% of the numbers are above 70.0. For feminists, the third quartile is is also 70.0.
Maximum: The maximum is the highest number being used or observed in a set of data. In this case, 100 is the maximum number.
Not Available (N/A): This means answer was not given or available, so more people did not answer about their feelling towards feminists than they did with gays or homosexuals.
